1. Whether you live or others die, their death is easy
And if you are saved, the sins of your time are forgiven

2. And if precautions grow weak for you, what is it to us?
For we have safety in you, something to beware

3. We are only for demise and towards demise
So a dove flies ahead and another lags behind

4. And our paths and travels are toward death
A man slips and stumbles while his feet trip

5. One who lived honorably tasted demise, and one who was stingy
And one who was quick came to his grave, and one who lived long

6. How many years have adorned us, and how many
Have covered our cheeks, that dust colored soil

7. There is no earth except in it, for wearing away
A cheek has flowed down or a forehead flowered

8. Whoever lives, will die or will have for him
In every day a lesson that flows down

9. And it is time, laughing strangely
At what it gained, and crying at what it missed

10. And our palaces are two, one ruined
Abandoned in sorrow, the other rebuilt

11. And our eyes are two, this one's tears
Are stuck together, and the other's tears drip

12. Surely the tragedy for the youth is in loved ones
If he only knew the blessing not thanked

13. So leave remembering those who lied down
By the hand of death, for destruction not mentioned

14. And if a decree came about something, accept it
For the blamers are angry at what is divined

15. Give glory to men by your forbearance among them
And pride yourself in that, for by the like one prides himself

16. And if time afflicts you, do not blame
Its misfortunes, for more than it erred

17. And I have long consoled others in anguish
With patience, and the consoled is more patient

18. We were not struck by hardships
Except you were the most hardy, the most patient

19. Females ransom their males from life
And the elder protects the younger dove

20. About it, ask, it has certainly declined and to
Godliness is the loincloth, and to chastity the gown

21. A breakage has a mending with its like
And your Lord protected you from an un-mendable breakage
